* The Meanings of Forms & Kata
ADULT LEVEL

By Bruce Miller

* This book is about understanding your karate kata – what you are doing. This is a serious topic and much of what is shown is dangerous. Thus it is for adults only.

Many people will give you lots of possibilities for the moves in a kata but unfortunately most of these are look alike moves and worse yet many of these so called explanations flat out don't work on the street. And some (explanations) are so different than what you are actually doing in the kata that you can't even recognize the move as what you have been practicing. The Problem with all these explanations is that they don't understand the rules of kata (YES there are definite rules!) And once you know them kata AND it’s real meanings, the moves make sense for self-defense ON THE STREET! WARNING: This book explains the brutal reality of what and how a kata does its job and is not suitable for those too young to know when not to use this information.

Note: these books or booklets are short and concise, and produced in black and white with soft folded paper covers. They are self-published by the author, and offered for the unique quality of their information. You will find nothing elce like them. If you expect thick glossy books with color photos, however, these books are not for you.

The Mountain

A warm sepia tone photograph

Noto, or the returning of the sword to the scabbard, is a fundamental part of iaido (the art of drawing the Japanese sword) training. The angle at which the sword first meets the saya (scabbard) has been referred to as a mountain. This angle is very important because it protects the opening of the saya from damage. It also makes putting the sword away much easier.
